Su***de is the biggest killer of men under 54. One man every two hours. 💔 That’s why Andy’s Man Club exists - to give men a place to talk, connect, and support each other.

If you’re unable to attend in person, online Andy’s Man Club sessions are available, hosted on Google Meet. These sessions offer the same p*er-to-p*er support in a confidential and welcoming space.

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men, and recognising symptoms early can make a real difference.

Symptoms may include difficulty p*eing, a weak flow, needing to p*e more often (especially at night), discomfort in the pelvic area or blood in urine/semen. If you notice changes, talk to your GP and tell them about any family history of cancer - not just immediate family, as broader history can help guide decisions about checks and referral.

Public figures like Sir Chris Hoy have also shared their cancer journeys to help raise awareness and encourage conversations about men’s health. 💙🩺✨

‼️MENINGITIS OUTBREAK IN KENT‼️

As the meningitis outbreak is an evolving situation in Kent, we await more guidance from the UKHSA. I'm afraid the Surgery is only giving the meningitis B vaccine within the routine childhood immunisation programme - this is at 8 weeks, 12 weeks, and 52 weeks. Catch-up vaccination is only available to children under 2 years of age.

The Green Book suggests that meningitis B vaccination outside the routine schedule is only indicated where someone doesn't have a spleen, or has a complement disorder:https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6849adb83a2aa5ba84d1df71/Meningococcal-green_book_chapter-22-10-6-25.pdf

Although the vaccine is available privately, we are not allowed to offer it privately to our own patients even where they aren't eligible for it. You may however want to approach another GP locally or a pharmacy if you'd like to look at having this privately.

Good sleep habits are essential for both physical and mental wellbeing.

Struggling to fall asleep or waking frequently during the night can affect mood, concentration and overall health.

Simple changes like keeping a regular bedtime, reducing screen time before bed, limiting caffeine and creating a calm sleep environment can help improve sleep quality.

Understanding the possible causes of sleep problems and accessing trusted advice can make a real difference. Better sleep supports better days. 😴🌙💙✨

Children’s dental health is an important part of overall wellbeing, and simple daily habits can help protect young teeth for life.

Drinks that are high in sugar and acidity can damage tooth enamel and increase the risk of decay. Encouraging water or milk, brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, and regular dental check-ups can all support healthy smiles. Starting good oral health habits early can make a lasting difference. 🦷🪥💙✨
